Flippases are the homodimeric transmembrane proteins located in the membrane. It helps phospholipid to transport from inner face to outer face of the cell membrane. It is composed with alpha-helix and beta sheets. The main three structural features of each monomer are an external helix, a belt of positively charged amino acids, and a binding site for an ATP molecule.
